LOL, I'm farther than book 10 *sheepish*Â as for most of the questions. I'll put them in spoilers:
Is Yuki really in love with Tohru?
Show content
At first, all the evidence did point to this, however, we're not so sure anymore. Yuki does indeed love Tohru, but more like a mother. In fact, Tohru and Kyou were rather akward with each other after a situation, involving a blanket and huggling, and they kept blushing around each other, Yuki felt uncomfortable and left, saying, he felt as though he walked in on 'his mother having a new lover'. I dont know what to think of this comment, does Yuki indeed love Tohru other than a mother figure? Its unlikely though, the prospect of Yuki x Tohru has always appealed to me, however, I believe Tohru x Kyou is more..best fitted. Yuki always needed love...not the love of his fangirls, or the admiration, but a love of a mother. If anyone has noticed, Tohru acts very motherly towards Yuki, she gives him advice, always checks if he's fine, and compliments him. I think Yuki loves Tohru, as if she was his mother, because in his life, he never had the type of love, or that mother figure. Just my two cents on the topic ^^; Also, Kyou already said he loves Tohru...however, only to himself. Yuki is also spending time with a girl named Machi..she is strange, and Yuki often comforts her, in one chapter, it looked like they were about to kiss, but Machi's phone rang, go figure.
Oh and, I support both Yuki x Tohru and Kyo x Tohru, but I'm just giving some insight
Is Shigure up to something? *MAJOR SPOILER*
Show content
Okay, Shigure use to be one of my fav characters, however, he isn't all that's he's cracked up to be.
Remember, he has the spirit of the dog, who is carefree, fun loving, and usually optimistic. But dogs aren't exactly perfect are they? They become rabid, and angry...stray if you will. I think Shigure fits this role amazingly, its really a suprise people haven't caught on so early in the series.
First of all, Shigure is indeed up to something. And that is trying to break the curse. The idea itself isn't bad, but his methods, are horrible. He's risking Tohru's fate so they could be closer...and it seems he views Kyou and Tohru just like Akito does, filthy, horrible, and only good for others. He didn't exactly say this, but his actions, and the talk he had with Tohru, concerning Kyou, was rather disgusting.
Now, for the real shocker. Akito is actually a girl *gasp*, and is more disgusting as ever. Her and Shigure have a relationship, and in one chapter *forgot the number exactly, but around the 100's* they have/about to have sex. I couldn't belive either, I always knew Shigure was the closest to Akito, but WOW. Anywho, I dont quite recall how they had 'it', but I do know she *it seems odd saying that* kissed him first, and Akito calls the 12 shi, as her 'things'. She's really disgusting isn't she?
Who does Tohru love?
Show content
Okay, it always seemed she loved Yuki *at least to me* however, it seems like she does love Kyo. The play incidents, and the entire blanket scenario just confirmed this. Also, she keeps feeling regret when she feels more for Kyou then her mother. She often questions herself, since she always promised she would keep her mother formost in her heart, but there's no denying she really cares about Kyou, and has feelings for him Also, Momiji *who seems much OLDER now* says, that he wanted to propose to Tohru, and Kyou notices, that he was indeed obvious with his feelings. They also act much more couple like, he aks her 'out' and she spends more time with him. I guess her and Yuki are slowly dfriting apart. *sniff* I want them to still be friends though.
Anway, if anyone has any more questions, and are willing to be spoiled silly just askÂ
